They're everywhere

Toronto: Although it has a slightly municipal atmosphere, with City of Toronto jobsworths rushing around in golf carts, Toronto Island is a great place to chill out on a hot day in Toronto. I was enjoying the lakeside breeze on the fishing pier when last year's Charlton shirt suddenly came into view. He was a young student on a gap year and we had a good chat about whether Jon Fortune might yet come back.

Shortly I am going off to meet fellow blogger Inspector Sands who is in Toronto on his self-described 'incredible journey'. On Sunday I am meeting up with a local fan and his wife.

About Me

I started supporting Charlton in 1953 when my father took me to a game (my mother came sometimes as well). My father was born in North Woolwich in 1908 and
had been a Charlton supporter since the 1920s when an older cousin took him. He raised the admission fee by looking after horses while deliveries were made. I now live in Leamington in Warwickshire, but remain a season ticket holder, as was my late wife. Visitors to my CAP blog may be confused by this but, as well as being a Charlton supporter, I am expert on the CAP and the political economy of the food chain. I am also a frequent commentator for UK and international print and broadcast media and wire services on British politics, hence my new blog on the subject.
